On August 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of TransDigm Group Incorporated authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock. The new program replaces the repurchase program announced on October 23, 2008, under which the Company previously repurchased $15 million of common stock. The stock repurchase program may be carried out at the direction of the Company through open market purchases (which may or may not include one or more plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), block trades, and Board-approved privately negotiated transactions. Any repurchased shares will be held in treasury and will be available for general corporate purposes.
